here. tonight in boca raton, florida, there you see the table where mitt romney and barack obama will be sitting down with bob schieffer. foreign policy is the focus tonight. this race as title as it possibly can be. >> wow, those chairs -- we also have our eye on a tropical system right now. could become a tropical storm, sam says in the next 24 to 48 hours. it could be heading for the east coast as well later this week. we know sam has his eye on that. >> he sure does. a lot of us have our eyes on this. brad pitt grabbed headlines for being the first man for the face of chanel number 5. and now it's getting spoofed. the question is is this a mistake for chanel? >> lots of attention there. want to get to first, the latest on the terrifying shooting that happened at a wisconsin suburban mall sunday.

three people are dead, including the shooter, and four others wounds. abc's alex perez joins us from brookfield, wisconsin. alex. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. we're told the gunman was the estranged husband of a woman who worked at the spa. police say she opened fire on her. >> be advised the possible shooter is an ex-marine. he may be still armed. >> reporter: witnesses say haughton stormed in, ordered everyone on the ground and started shooting. customers some still in robes, others barefooted ran out in panic. this man along with his son came face-to-face with the shooter as he stepped outside apparently looking to escape. >> when the suspect came around

the corner, it really looked like he saw a deer in the headlights. he didn't expect us to be standing there. he ducked behind the building. >> reporter: moments later, police and s.w.a.t. surround the two-story building. police say haughton started a fire inside the building before shooting and killing himself. >> we were evacuating womene ii. getting calls from victims. >> reporter: she was reportedly killed police say her daughter also worked at the spa and witnessed the shooting. >> she said her stepfather was in the spa and was shooting as many people as he could. >> reporter: they said he and his wife has been estranged for some time. earlier, he was charged with allegedly slashing the tires on

his wife's car. she was issued a restraining order. >> all i can say, i want to apologize to the people of milwaukee who have been hurt. he did not give me any hint of what he would do. >> now, the four victims who survived the shooting are expected to make a full recovery. on a separate note, this tragedy comes just about two months after the sikh temple shooting. that unrelated incident happened just about 25 miles from lower. >> alex, thanks very much. the race for the white house. it's "your voice your vote" with just 15 days to go, just hours before the final face-off in florida. new polls show the race completely up for grabs. jake tapper starts us off in boca raton. good morning, jake. >> good morning, george. that is right. it is anyone's stakes so the stakes are incredible high. tonight is the last time that the candidates have to present their case to the american people live in prime time.

>> reporter: the only thing definitive is confusion about how this will end. gallup has romney up nationally up by seven points, and investors business has obama up by six. >> it's a very tight race. it's a competitive race. we always knew, in the sense it's coming down to a few states and a few votes. >> reporter: just as the polls are all over the map, so too will be tonight's debate over the international map focused on foreign policy and explosive stories about global hot spots such as "the new york times" reported that the u.s. for the first time has agreed in principle to unilateral talks about iran in the nuclear talks. and the diplomatic outpost in benef benghazi, libya. >> it took the president 14 days before he called the act in benghazi an act of terrorism. >> get the transcript. >> he did in fact call it an act

of terrorism. >> reporter: a scene that provided tension. and last on "saturday night live." >> i'm willing to bet here and now that you have never, in your life, even once used the phrase terrorist act. >> get the transcript. >> governor, he has in fact used the phrase "terrorist act." >> candy, no, no, no. [ laughter ] >> i'm afraid he did. >> candy, please. >> reporter: the candidates spent the weekend in intense debate prep, the candidates reviewing materials and the president at camp david. romney did as well, but dined with his family at a diner in delray beach. and a game of flag football. >> figure out which of the players is best and take them out early. >> after tonight, of course, it is the homestretch race. the obama team thinks they can eke out a victory by holding out the states that john kerry won and picking up ohio and nevada.

the romney campaign think they will stop him from doing that. >> let's bring in martha raddatz, martha, of course, moderated the vice presidential debate and matthew dodd. >> good morning. the focus tonight is on foreign affairs. a lot of new information coming out over the weekend, including that report in "the new york times" now denied that direct talks fwle s between the u.s. a could be coming soon. >> you notice they didn't take that story out of the papers. there's something going on diplomatically. anything going on diplomatically could probably help the president. also leaves a simple question to mitt romney, if there was a possibility for face-to-face negotiations one-on-one, would you do that or risk another war? >> and it seems to come down on both sides of the question. >> which has happened quite frequently during this campaign. you don't really know the difference between these men on a lot of different issues and i

think iran is basically one of them. >> in the meantime, we've seen the latest poll out of the "wall street journal" 47/47. a dead heat either way. >> all of those seem to be converging on a dead heat either way. which makes this debate so important. and it really changes the dynamics of this race more than anything else. i think tonight's test is more a commander in chief, strong leader test. i think that makes it really important. >> it's also conceivable, martha, in this kind of debate when new issues are opened up, you see the kind of mistake that could make a difference as well. everyone remembers gerald ford in 1976, it could have cost him the race? >> that's exactly right. i'm surprise they had agreed to do a foreign policy debate for the last debate. >> we'll see what happens, bob

schieffer the moderator. diane and i are here. right now to josh for the other morning headlines. good morning to you. we're beginning with gas prices. a new prediction that could fall from 50 cents per gallon. the questions now, why? and which states, abc's paula faris is here with answers. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, josh. help is on the way. just in time for the early holiday season. we're expecting gas to fall roughly kraft cents per gallon. look what the folks have been paying for, $3.66. that could go down. you want to know why, two main reasons, economic supply and demand. lower demand and winter blend. you may not get as much as from say the summer blend. who is going to feel it the

most? states like alaska and california and new york. relief is on the way. definitely, josh, some welcomed news for all of us as we enter into the holiday season. >> indeed. paula faris thank you for that. developing story overseas. authorities say the 11 suspects that you see here planned to attack shopping malls and assassinate u.s. and british diplomats in jordan. they say the suspects smuggled explosives into the country from neighboring syria which is in the midst of a bloody civil war. that civil war also spilling into lebanon, violent crashes between sunni and shiite groups there erupted today. with the killing of a top intelligence official which many claim was carried out by the syrian regime. meanwhile, new photos of fidel castro appear to contradict rumors that he's on his deathbed.

one shows him reading a friday newspaper. it was published by castro in which the 86-year-old brags he doesn't even suffer from headaches these days. and a horrific attack in california. a man threw a molotov cocktail to another man, you'll see him as he runs from the scene. he did survive, thanks to people nearby as he helps to put out the flames. a frantic mother raised to get her baby's stroller away from that just in time. we'll have updates as news warrant. and tonight it will not just be "monday night football" competing on tv with the presidenti presidential debate. there's also that important baseball game. the giants shut down the cardinals forcing a game seven. the tigers await. it should be quite a scene in san francisco. of course, it should also be quite a scene elsewhere. lots to get done tonight.

>> that's for sure. >> all right, josh, thanks so much. we have some breaking news now on lance armstrong, the global governing body of cycling has just announced moments ago it will ban armstrong for life and strip him of his seven tour titles. abc's neal karlinsky joins us from seattle with the very latest on this breaking news. neal? >> amy, this is it. that is going on right now, officially stripping armstrong, banning him for life saying, quote, there is no place in cycling for lance armstrong. this is the final hurdle and not officially epic downfall. lance armstrong turning into a virtual outcast in just a matter of days. in what looked at time as more like a good-bye party than celebration, armstrong made two appearances this weekend but he didn't concede much. >> people ask me a lot, how are you doing? i tell them, i've been better.

but i've also been worse. >> reporter: as his reputation, sponsorships and influence have falling off a cliff, the silence surrounding his message over the years has begun to crack. a former competitor testified in this deposition that armstrong was going to throw a race with a $1 million. >> what was the prize? >> 50? >> is it fair that you were not to challenge armstrong? >> that's correct. >> reporter: celina roberts tells story we heard repeatedly, whenever a doping question was raised it was met with threats and intimidation. >> i don't think there's really any politician or celebrity or athlete who has really put together the machinery to, you know, suppress reporting of that like lance armstrong has. >> reporter: former bicycling

magazine writes, armstrong could make an advertiser disappear from our pages. armstrong said they tried to smear her when they heard she was investigating doping allegations. and she said livestrong was never far from the surface. something others referred to as his cancer shield. >> you're surrounded with the perception if you're not pro-lance, then, certainly, you're pro-cancer. >> a pile of multimillion-dollar lawsuits are coming next and he'll also have to return millions more in prize money. the trouble keeps coming for lance. amy. >> thanks very much. and now, any of you who think you have bad luck in neighbors. stick around for this surveillance video. it's a miami man. according to his neighbors, he's been at it for over a year. abc's john muller is here with the story.

boy, john, nice guy. >> they call him the neighbor from hell. now, he's been arrested. miami homeowners say they were living in constant fear. things got so bad, they joined together and bought a surveillance camera. take a look at this video as an unidentified man throws a rock through a car window. and here, watch these unknown men spray gasoline on a car. and this, a boat bursting into flames. members of this miami community accuse mitchell igelko of all of these crimes, the a man they call the neighbor from hell, saying he hired others to do his dirty work. >> he's an angry guy, and he tries to intimidate you. >> reporter: police are still investigating those incidents and igelko has not been charged in them. but late last week, igelko was charged in criminal mischief and stalk something separate incidents. >> we have property damage and psychological damage. >> reporter: here cameras allegedly catch him throwing

what looks like an egg at someone's house. and in this video, neighbors say it's igelko sprinkling bags of nails on driveways and lawns. >> i was getting flat tires, not only myself but everybody in the neighborhood. >> reporter: neighbors allege that this reign of terror started in 2008 when igelko started feuding with neighbors derhagopian. watch here as what appeared to be liquid squirting from the white truck. the next day, the grass was killed. neighbors say igelko was behind it. >> nobody should have to live like this. >> reporter: his lawyers say this is nothing other than an ongoing dispute. >> to suggest that my clients would vandalize his own home, burn his own grass, throw eggs on his own cars is absolutely

preposterous. >> they told abc news they're waiting to get access to the tapes to better respond to the allegations. miami police are viewing those tapes and it's possible more charges could be pending. george, amy. >> wow. >> cameras don't lie. >> no, they don't. neither does sam champion. >> well -- >> but never under oath. george, never under oath. hey, take a look at these clouds, by the way, the "gma" three-day view south of jamaica. you'll notice what looks to be forming here to be a future tropical system so we'll watch it. here's what the models have with this storm doing, it's kind of in that zone until thursday-ish and it's making that move.sh and it's we know the storm is going to swing in that direction. we'll watch have carefully. 1 to 3 inches of rain in seattle. not just rain, some places will

20 miles away in a jell cell. splis say holt abducted and twilled the 21-year-old on the way to work in portland, oregon before dumping her body on this mountain. >> it's very difficult. i only had her a year and nine months together. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with abc news, clint hykel said the suspect who is also married lives in their apartment complex and attended their church. he said he really had take contain of the cats and plants when they were away. he said he even helped jonathan holt jump start his motorcycle a few weeks ago. >> she's kind, she didn't deserve this. just why? the question is why? >> reporter: police say they don't know that answer either. and have released few details about when holt approached whitney or if he's stalking her.

there's no indication that there was a relationship between the two of them. the police are going to have to try to figure out what was going on inside his head. >> how much of a case do the police have? >> well, it appears they've got a lot forensics. and what they haven't told us what do they have on surveillance cameras and other locations. but finding, apparently, his dna in the car. there were prints where his body was found. it looks to me they got a reasonable case forensically at this point. >> based on your experience, what would be your thumbnail profile of the shooter? >> well, if there is no relationship, it appears he had some sort of attraction for her, perhaps. when she came out to go to work, he approached her. maybe she ignored him or whatever. and something went wrong in the parking lot. and as a result, he must have grabbed her or injured her in the parking lot enough to drive her away. >> or as one of the neighbors said, he might have just

snapped. brad garrett, thanks very much. now to the latest alec baldwin's alleged stalker trying to defend herself including tweets to the presidential candidates all this with her trial apparently a month away. >> she's very public right now. she is going on the offensive saying her reputation has been ruined, that she's been stoned in the public square by the media and that she can't get a fair trial because of baldwin's powerful new york connection. >> reporter: in a new interview given in french on canada's tv, sabourin said her story has been sensationalized. i would like to turn the page, she said, when prepares for the trial, every day i suffer from the pain, the fears and the expense, i can't work. it takes advantage of me. it humiliates me.

>> you are saying you're innocent? >> reporter: the actress was charged with harassment and stalking, arrested after showing up outside of baldwin's new york apartment. baldwin told the police, the two went to dinner once. a favor he says, he did for a friend to give sabourin career advice. but she says the two were in a relationship. i just wanted to know his version so i could move on with my life, he says. i didn't believe he would tell me by phone or e-mail so i took a trip to new york. in court documents, baldwin tells a different story, saying sabourin sent him ten e-mails in march demanding a meeting, or, quote, she was going to start a massive destructive war with me. >> it's going to be clear that i haven't committed any crime. >> reporter: though it now says sabourin is confident those facts will come out, she's taken

to twitter to new york's attorney general to prevent her from getting a fair trial. even tweeting barack obama and governor romney. >> by going on this twitter stage, he's made it in media even more. >> and it's proved that she wasn't stalking on facebook. but she can't get to those messages, when she found out he was dating baldwin's now wife, she unfriended him. >> more to come in court? >> that's correct. >> john, thanks very much. time for the weather and sam champion. >> hey, good morning, amy. big time storms load up in the midwest and continue through the week. take a look at the pictures, anywhere from hail to water spouts. if you moved inland, it was snow and rain. and big time today. it's dropped chilly weather over the west coast. seattle, you'll go from 50 to 40

startling to achieve global recognition if that's the right word before the age of 30 on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom. >> i think the book and everything around is trying to forge her way and identity away from her parents and sister. >> reporter: she continues "i'm a typical girl in her 20s trying to forge a career and represent herself in what can sometimes seem rather strange circumstances." middleton doesn't shy away from discussing those circumstances, instead, addressing the elephant in the room head on. it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when i've done so little to paint a picture of myself. this is my first chance to do that." and now we're just learning there's talk of another book in the pipeline for pippa on -- wait for it -- how to plan a wedding on a budget. it's safe to say she won't be asking her sister kate for any tips on how to throw a wedding on a shoestring.

branched out here. with all kinds of partners and i see you called it your most adventurous. what did you mean by that? >> i think for me, i've explored the edges of what i'm allowed to do. exploring, kind of pushing myself and taking myself out of my comfort zone which is writing alone and going and working with my heroes, songwriters who have influenced me my whole career. it's really challenged me in the best way possible. >> what's different about writing from somebody else? >> well, everybody has their own process. some start with writing a track. everybody's got a different way of doing things. what it felt like was, being 22, kind of learning from my absolute heroes and scomplooring how they do what they do. and it was really amazing learning experience. >> and my little girls have been walking around the house for weeks singing "never, ever, ever getting back together."

is in the grand scheme of things and fill in the song. >> you've gotten all kinds of questions on twitter. one comes from the lucky one 1313 who wanted to know which song on "red" was the hardest to write? >> it took me a long time. it started being like a ten-minute song which you can't put on an album. and i had to filter it down to a story that could work in the form of a song. and i called my friend and co-writer liz rhodes and said, come over, we've got to filter this down. it took me a really long time to get it to its final form. >> so in some ways are you writing all the time? >> yes, all the time. i wrote a new one two days ago. >> wow. >> it doesn't matter if i'm preparing for a record or about to put one out. writing is just the way i live and i write about the way i'm living. >> if you were to write a song about your love life right now, happy song, sad song?

>> i don't really talk about my love life. i kind of sing about it a lot. i really think it sounds more poetic and romantic with music behind it. >> and it's much truer to you that way? >> yeah. and my fans know i'm going to give them the real version of what happened to me in my music. and they know what i read on blogs or whatever may or may not be true. and they can kind of tell a hit that's true or not because they know me. >> what have you learned about how to navigate your whole private life in such a public -- when you're living in such a public place? look at the all the team out here right now? >> i don't mind any of that at all. there's nothing wrong with that. but there is sort of the pressure to not make a mistake. and i'm at an age where you're supposed to be learning lessons and all that. making mistakes and it's okay. but, you know, i have to minimize the mistakes that i make because it's important that i -- that i -- i have these
